HB105: Introductory Physiology The Action of Enzymes Introduction An enzyme is located in all living cells‚ and is a complex protein molecules. These protein based molecule act as a catalyst. This is a compound that aids chemical reactions without its own structure and state being changed during the process. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions‚ changing substrates into specific produce. Without these enzymes life would not exist. Enzymes are fundamental to all living things as they speed up

the rate of peroxidase activity. During the lab‚ the lab group tested 7 test tubes‚ including 1 blank‚ with different amounts of pH 5 buffer‚ H2O2‚ Peroxidase‚ and Guaiacol. After the certain amount of mL per substance was mixed‚ the absorbance readings for the effect of peroxidase concentration were taken from the spectrophotometer. The results for the effect

Enzyme Reaction Rates Under Different Conditions Introduction In this lab you will observe how the rate of a reaction is changed as certain factors are changed. You will observe how changing factors like temperature‚ pH‚ substrate concentration‚ and enzyme concentration changes the rate of an enzymatic reaction. In this experiment you will act as an enzyme by breaking toothpicks witch act as substrates. After observing the results of this experiment you will be able to determine what causes the

The Virtual Lab – ELISA Test Lab: Immunology 09/04/2013 Instructors: Dr. Charlie Wilson Written by: Dipen Patel I. Objective: The purpose of the lab was to learn the procedure of performing an ELISA test to determine whether a particular antibody is present in a patient’s blood sample. ELISA is an abbreviation for “Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay." II. Introduction: The interaction of antigen and antibody outside the body can be used to determine if patient

Biology 20 IB Design Lab Does increasing or decreasing the ph level of a 3% concentration H2O2 (l) solution affect the amount of oxygen released between 15.0ml of the solution and a 5g sample of liver? The reaction is measured by the difference in mass of a balloon that is used to capture the amount of gas released by the catalase enzyme found in liver reacting with a basified 3% H2O2 (l) and an acidified 3% H2O2 (l) . Chemical reactions occur when two or more molecules interact and the molecules

Period 12 Chemical Aspects of Life & Spit Lab ABSTRACT: The objective for the Spit lab was to test two different types of crackers for the presence or absence of starch and of reducing sugars. Also‚ to test the chewed cracker‚ the one that didn’t have a reducing sugar‚ for the presence or absence of a reducing sugar with the saliva in it. Adding on‚ another part of the objective is to determine the effect of amylase on starch. For the Chemical Aspects lab‚ the objectives were to test for the presence

many “chainobeads” was your enzyme able to make per minute in the 0 – 15 second interval? Our enzyme was able to make 6 chainobeads in the 0-15 interval. 2. How many “chainobeads” was your enzyme able to make per minute in the 60 – 120 second interval? Our enzyme was able to make 49 chainobeads in the 60-120 intervals. 3. Did your enzyme’s rate change over time? How does this compare to a real enzyme? The enzyme’s rate did change over time. This compares to a real enzyme because an enzyme’s job is
